Fast-forward to this fall, and nearly out of nowhere, the Mustangs rolled to a 13-1-0 regular season, their first winning campaign since 2011. Mount View not only qualified for the Class B North tournament, but the Mustangs entered as the No. 3 seed in a deep and competitive regional field — ahead of traditional heavyweights Winslow (the two-time defending regional champion), Brewer, Ellsworth and Erskine.

For his efforts in turning the program around, Mount View’s Dale Hustus has been selected as the Morning Sentinel Boys Soccer Coach of the Year.

The Mustangs lost in the quarterfinals, but the tournament appearance was the icing on top of the proverbial cake that saw Mount View close out the season with nine-game winning streak.

“We came into this season just looking to get into the playoffs,” Hustus said at the time. “We did so much better than that. We finished with the best record in Class B North, that says something about a team right there.”
